How to Dump Switch 2 Prod Keys and Firmware from Your Own Console

Last checked against Lichii build 117

Dumping keys means running a homebrew tool on a console you own that reads its keys and writes them to prod.keys and title.keys on the SD card. The Lichii project asks users to use keys and firmware dumped from their own console.

What does dumping require?

  • A console you own.
  • A way to run homebrew on its current system version. On the original Switch this needs an exploitable console; on Switch 2, availability depends on public exploits for your system version.
  • A microSD card and a PC to copy the files.

How does key dumping work on the original Switch?

  1. Boot the console into a payload such as Lockpick_RCM through an exploit.
  2. Choose to dump keys from SysNAND.
  3. Copy prod.keys and title.keys from the SD card’s switch folder to your PC.

How do you dump firmware?

Firmware is dumped with a homebrew tool that exports the installed system titles, or extracted from a game cartridge’s update partition. The output is a folder of NCA files that Lichii installs with Tools > Install Firmware > From Folder.

What is the status on Switch 2?

Dumping methods for Switch 2 depend on exploits that change with each system update. Check the Lichii documentation and its issue tracker for the current method before updating your console.
